Nvidia once again reported blow earnings yesterday. Their stock (along with many other chip companies) is absolutely unbelievable.
They have 42,000 employees, and about half are now worth $25 million or more!!!
Amazing.

If I has $25M, I would not be working
Just another DSA target.
No question about, 21,000 employees worth that much or more!
Those shares are probably locked up.
Restricted shares cannot be sold right away. I know I used to have a five year vesting schedule. Once I hit the fifth year, I was able to sell the shares from Year 1. Year six, I could sell some from Year 1 AND year 2.
If I had stayed until Year 10…that would have been lucrative.
When the AI bubble pops will it also take their money ?
Yes, if shares collapse, that is a risk with locked shares.
If you can’t have it, you aren’t worth that much.
Each has $595? That’s impressive, yeah.
I checked ChatGPT, and Nvidia has a very low percentage of locked up shares.
“No question about, 21,000 employees worth that much or more!”
Given where Nvidia is located, I wonder how many of those 21,000 employees support Dems/DSA/commies?
Nvidia has a very low percentage of locked up shares,,,,,less than 1%. They are all millionaires right now.
Nvidia has NO locked up shares for an IPO.
Probably most…..lol.
I’ve had nVidia stock since 1999. It’s the only stock I ever picked myself without a broker’s recommendation.
Nice,,,,👍
Well that’s not fair. Wait until ‘dsa’ finds out.
SpaceX’s new Starbase in Louisiana will employ 10,000 and starting pay is $93,000 ... if it does get built. That is not counting other perks and employee shares.
DSA,,,”Deadbeat Scammers of America”?
“If I has $25M, I would not be working”
I’m sure much of that wealth exists in stock options that the employees may not be able to exercise until a future date.
Your comment might also not apply to those employees in their late 20’s or 30’s, who want to ensure their financial well being for a very long time horizon.
